Legacy and emerging per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in Australian biosolids
PFAS were detected in 100% of the samples. December 17, 2020 | Chemosphere
Deposition of PFAS ‘forever chemicals’ on Mt. Everest
For the first time, PFAS were found in snow and meltwater on Mt. Everest from below the Base Camp to the Balcony. Samples taken are the highest altitude PFAS samples ever retrieved. December 17, 2020 | Science of The Total Environment
Paper product production identified as the main source of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in a Norwegian lake: source and historic emission tracking
Factory producing PFAS coated paper products was identified as main source of PFAS in a contaminated sediment bed. December 9, 2020 | Environmental Pollution
Evaluation of extraction workflows for quantitative analysis of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances: A case study using soil adjacent to a landfill
Study evaluated different extraction workflows for quantitative analysis of PFAS in soil. PFBA, PFHxA, and PFOA were ubiquitously detected in all soil samples adjacent to a landfill. December 4, 2020 | Science of The Total Environment
Mass-Based, Field-Scale Demonstration of PFAS Retention within AFFF-Associated Source Areas
Study used concentration data via a high-resolution sampling and analytical protocol to estimate the PFAS mass distribution in source and downgradient areas of a former firefighter training area. December 3, 2020 | Environmental, Science & Technology
